I would take an issue that is relevant to today's youth, and try to indicate how it impacts happiness. For example, today's youth are incredibly "plugged in," which means that they text, email, IM, Facebook, Tweet, and are in constant communication with one another. Does all of that communication increase their happiness? Does a technologically advanced world help or hinder in self-esteem? You could approach it from that angle. There are so many different products on the market these days that seem to promise happiness and contentment, so you could discuss that topic also. For example, most magazines for women are filled with beauty products; they are trying to make you feel like you need to go buy them to be beautiful. What impact do those magazines have on self-esteem and happiness? There is quite a bit of research in academic journals that would lend support for that thesis.
If you can think of something that impacts the happiness of you and your peers, that might give you an approach for this topic. Narrow it down to one particular thing that impacts happiness, and try discussing that. I hope that helps a bit; good luck!
